My apologies for not seeing this sooner. I am absolutely alright with that, it is not a problem with me at all. 

It fills me with joy to know that my words were able to bring you any amount of comfort. Falling apart does not make one weak. Holding such worries, concerns, self-doubt - it can leave deep scars upon the soul. There is a reason that tears can be so cleansing, and why speaking to others about how you feel can be a flicker of light to help guide you through even the darkest of times. Though your seams may begin to unravel, there will always be those who are willing to help thread you back together with gentle hands, including this humble knight. I will be here to extend my hand to you, ready to help steady you to your feet, ears and heart open, and to remind you of your strength and bravery. Rest well, sweet prince, and remember that you are not alone. 🌹

My heart breaks to know that people mistreated you, my prince. How I wish I had been there for the moments that no one else was, to shield you from pain and hardship. Though I cannot speak for all knights, myself and those that I have grown a kinship with believe knighthood to come from one's actions, not state of birth nor wealth, nor privilege in life. A knight's heart must guide them towards protecting those who cannot protect themselves, spreading courage, honour, truth, bravery throughout the land and it's people, to be gallant in the face of adversity. You needn't raise a blade to be welcomed by us, my prince. Your ambition can be your sword, and your kindness can be your shield. The strength of heart can be just as powerful as the strength of body. None are born great knights. We were all squires once. Allow yourself the time to breathe and learn, and know that I am always by your side to guide you. 🌹

The view would be magnificent, though nothing could be as breathtaking as you. Even high above the castle, it could never compare to how high you make my heart soar. I would reply in a shaky whisper, voice trembling from the overwhelming feelings within me, “there is no one in this land nor any other that I would rather share my life with, my Prince.” 🌹

And at your side is where I would forever remain. The ache that I would feel in your absence would leave me a selfish husk of a knight, yearning for your return. To think that a simple servant such as myself could be the receiver of such fond sentiment fills my life with purpose and undying warmth. That smile of mine that you would come to know so well would be for you, my Prince. All of it would be for you. 🌹

"Should you have me", my Prince, it would *honour* me. How I long for evenings spent in your company, speaking freely any words and thoughts that should come to my mind, watching your eyes alight as I ramble. I would feel the blush grow hot against my cheeks each time that you looked my way. No doubt I would stumble over my sentences with how greatly you fluster me. Your love would be my anodyne, the sweet balm to my weary soul. Your heart would be my home. 🌹
